Just received my SA6 (open box from [headphones.com](http://headphones.com)) and immediately tried it with the 4.4mm pentaconn on my ifi Gryphon and was surprised that I got no sound out of the left channel. At first I thought I got a defective unit, but I realized it is actually the connector plug itself. If I slightly pull on the plug both channels work. I can also put a 5mm washer (which is just under 1mm thick) and that seems to work, but thatā€™s janky. No problems with other headphone cables using 4.4mm pentaconn with my Gryphon, but not sure where the problem might be? Any better solutions than keeping a washer handy??? ---

I have experienced the same issue with Dunu connectors in combination with iFi products. Usually turning the connector slightly solved the issue but I agree that itā€™s not great. ---

Well I guess the good news is I didnā€™t get a defective unitā€¦ just two vendors who donā€™t play well with each other. For better or worse, rotating the plug does nothingā€¦ need to slightly pull on it. Think I might just 3d print a 0.6mm spacer that is a press fit and less likely to fall off. ---

Yes, unfortunately this is a results of iFiā€™s choice of plug that they use for their 4.4 section. You need to slightly pull it out for it to work, and add a space for it to work long term otherwise. I wish they would fix it, but it basically requires them to use an entirely different 4.4 section for their amps. ---

I have the same issue with my Bottlehead Crack (factory 1/4" socket). It seems vendors may intentionally make sockets too deep to compensate for jacks that are too long. ---

I did have the same issue with the 4.4mm socket on my Hipdac. Fully inserted, Iā€™d only get 1 channel. Pulled the connector out just a smidge and all was good. Iā€™d heard this was a problem in general with 4.4mm across the board, so I just made a plastic washer type thingy to keep that gap it needed. Eventually, I started having other issues with the hipdac so I needed to return it under warranty. Turns out the device I got back didnā€™t have that problem any more. I donā€™t know if iFi has changed the hardware or if itā€™s just a matter of ā€œconnector lotteryā€. Just my experience, anyways ---

Hopefully they did, but more likely than not, itā€™s just connector lottery. ---

Are you able to show a graph of the SA6 Ultra vs the new one? ---

Very late but here are my quick additions. I also found the cable kept coming out of the items (which was a shame since itā€™s a really nice cable). Using a tripowin cable with issues since. For the tips I use comply but would like to look into some tip rolling in the future. ---
